I loved going bowling there, and then watching those shows on stage, and eating pizza, and playing in the arcade. As a kid, I was in heaven. So much fun there.

Also to add to my previos post, I remember when Fish Creek Park and Anderson LRT Station were as far south as you can go in this city, now I would say 5-10% of the city is below that part.

There used to be an old Shell Gas Station in Castleridge where I used to live, and the guy that worked in the store inside had funky hair and his name was Fresh.

Any how I will always remember the guy bc he worked at that store for about 10 years, and I would always go to get slurpees there.

Back in the day for a $1.32 (Thats with GST), you got a 32 ounce slurpee and a bag of chips. :P

Also I remember when the Taco Bell opened up in the North East for the first time, it was such a big deal, because it was the first Taco Bell in Calgary, and I used to love eating there (Still do hehhhehehe)

Also, I remember a grocery store called Food City by Temple. I remember going there with my mom when it was closing down and they were liquidating all there stuff.

And then there was Food For Less by Whitehorn Station, now a Safeway. I will remember that place bc I met Gary Roberts, and Doug Gilmour there back in the early 90s, and they were giving a way mini hockey sticks and they signed one for me. But of course me being like 8 or something I played hockey with it and totally ruined it. I also met Mike Vernon there as well.

...the Foos for Less was directly across the street from where I grew up..I remember thinking it was odd to be renting movies from a grocery store
